South Carolina Legislature.

--In the South Carolina Legislature on Thursday, a number of resolutions were introduced declaring, among other things, that no peace can be had with the United States except on the basis of separation, and that as this is known to be the sentiment of the Confederate Government, that a convention of States would be "unprecedented, disorganizing and subversive of the dignity, authority and stability of the regularly-established government. " Mr. Rhett introduced a resolution declaring that the Confederate Government has no right to emancipate slaves on any ground, nor to conscribe State officers, nor to abridge the freedom of the press.
